Two moro counties, Branch and Hillsdale,
both strong republican counties, followed
Van Buren's example last Monday and gave
rousing maiorities for local prohibition.
Eight counties have now voted "dry." OF
course it just happened that all the counties
that have adopted the policy of prohibition
are republican. Democratic counties will be
heard from later on.

DoN Nj. DICKINSON, the new postmaster
general, presented an elegant national flag to
the city OF Detroit, to be fioa,ed in the breeze
from the top of the city hall-a very appro-
pirate and proper thing to do. The ErCning
journal don't like to ''look a gift horse in
the mouth" but thinks il "A pity that it was
not purely city flag" Some people out
here in western Michigan are so ignorant
that they don't know anything about the
"city flag" Will not the journal kindly
enlighten them. tell them what it is like,
what devices are emblazoned on its ample
folds, etc, ETC.? We all know and love the
stars and stripes" but we don't know the
peculiar emblem of the Michigan metropolis.
Our ignorance may be objectionable, bat we
can't help it. BY all means, let Us know all
about the "city flag" that ought to float
from Detroit's temple of Justice-if such it
is entitled to be hailed.

RUMoEs of war in Europe are again rife.
IL is said that an outbreak will certainly
occur not later than March next. 1t isn't
advisable to put much faith in such predic-
tons. There may be war and again there
may not. People arc beginning, and with
good reason, to believe that the periodic
statements that war is imminent, are more
for the benefit of stockholders than anything
else. In these days of dynamite, bombs and
other deadly and destructive explosives, the
danger of an outbreak between nations is
far less than when battles were decided by
the use of more primitive weapons. Diplo-
macy and arbitration ought TO be the means
of settling all national controversies III this
period of boosted 10Th century civilization.

THE HORSE HAIR ROPE.
In conversing with an old ranger to-day
he told me rather remarkable story. He
said:
"Do you know that in the Texas coun-
ties which border on Mexico horse is
valued for his heavy name and tail.
Yes, that's true. The MeXicans, you
know, use the hair to make Iariats,
ropes, etc, and therefore the more
of the hair that horse has
the more valuable he is. In the lariat
rope the hair sticks out in little points all
over. It cannot be made in any other
way. When Mexican gets out on the
prairie and compelled to camp out all
night, he Just takes that larist rope and
circles it around himself and his horse'
and coolly lies down and goes to sleep.
This rope protects him from all tarantn-
las and centipedes which are unable to
get over the rope on account of the
prickly point, which are sticking. If no
tarantuIas or centipedes were Included
within the circle of the rope before 5t VAS
stretched, the Mexican is absol1tely safe
from any attack from those dangerous
little creepers." -
Along back some ten years ago. there
came to Tarrant county, in which Fort
Worth is situated, "Hinglishman''
known as Ford Gay. He was real no
blemau, but for some reason he left his
native heath and came to the wilds of
Texas, where he purchased large body
of land.
Ford Gay was very properly named.
He was very giddy, and whenever he Wis
tied the town he was prone to paint the
walls of the adjoining buildings bright
carmine. One he astonished everybody
by marrying the proprietress of the larg-
est bagnio in the city. He was at once
ostracised by the society in which he had
moved and so great became the
general dlsrespect with which he
was treated that he finally re-
turned to the mother country, taking
with him his wife. He still holds his
broad acres here, some of which lie just
outside the city limits, and which some
day will be laid out as an addition to the
town.
Who says that poor man has no
chance in the west? Ten years ago J. h.
Brown, the wholesale grocer referred to
above in this letter, came to Fort Worth
from Baxter Springs, Cherokee county,
Kansas. He had $1,000, and with this he
started small wholesale establishment.
The business proved profitable, and as
Mr.. Brown was thrifty man as well as
enterprising, he soon began to accumu-
late considerable money. To-day he is
worth 81 100000 at low estimate.

a Craze for Ivory Miniatures.
New York Mail.

A young French artist in town is at
present supplying society with ivory
miniatures, and although they come ex-
ceedingly high, he is scarcely able to
keep up with the demand. Painting
on ivory, if not lost art, was, until
the present revival, almost for
gotten one. Such work requires
exact taste, abundant patience and pc
culiar skill. The skill and the knowledge
of the art required of course died away
with the falling of of demand for the
kind of work in question. The cheapness
ana apparent value and permanency of
photographs struck q fatal blow at the
one time popularity of ivory min
iatures. But with the lapse of
years it has been found that pho
tographs are not permanent records, and
people, besides, have more money and
taste than when the photographs took
first place in their affections. The trans
parencY and beauty of these miniatures
are delight to the eye, but the COM
monplace buyer with the common
place pocketbook is rather staggered
with the information that miniature
three or four inches square costs $500 to
$500.

How Vicksburg Was Made a High Grade
Moral City.
indianapolis Journal.
"Ever hear of the hanging of the
gamblers at Vicksburg?" inquired Cap
tsin Oglesby of a reporter st the Con-
gress of Ancients as those worthless gath
cred in the usual hebdomadaI session.
'tI'u tell you about it. AS a piece of
amateur political justice it took high
rank in its day. To begin st the begin
ming | have to go back to NatcheZ. That
place was in its day the most beauti-
full upon the Mississippi river
between New Orleans and St. Louis. 1t
is on bluff 200 feet high, called the
North ChickasaW bluff. 1t was before the
war the home of wealth, many rich plant
ers living there. These men owned large
cotton plantations in Mississippi; others
had great sugar plantations in Louisiana.
Up in the city the society WAS polished
and aristocratic. There was
little bottom next the river, and
under the oluff narrow strip
where there was a large business done in
the way of merchandising of various
kinds, commission and cotton shipping.
| Silver street, next the bluff, between that
and the water, was occupied by whisky
| sellers, gambling houses, dence-hOuses
and other bad resorts. This bluff had
been gradually settling for three or four
| years. Every now and then there would
| be landslide. In 1884 a great slide
made it necessary for the Silver street ocCu-
pants to seek other haunts. The gam
blers and the other disreputable denizens
went to Vicksburg, which had up to that
| time been rather an orderly town and
desirable place to live. After the arrival
| of the gamblers Vicksburg began to be
notorious thr ugh its new population.
Many outrages were committed. 1t came
to such pass that the good citizens of
| Vicksburg held public meeting to cor
rect the abuses. committee, with a
DR.. Bodley st the head, a prominent
gentleman, esteemed by every one,
visited the gambling houses and
! the whisky shops. Haudbllls had
b cen posted ordering the gam
blers to leave the town inside of twenty
| four hours. When this committee ap-
peared fight took place in which DR..
BOdley was killed and two or three other
citizens badly wounded. This murder
aroused the most intense feeling and the
highest excitement. l do not think
mob was ever organized in a shorter
! time. Five gamblers VINO were most
| prominent in the attack that resulted in
murder were taken up on the hill and all
swung up. 1t was great day for Judge
| Lynch. When they were dead they were
taken down and thrown into graves at the
foot of the gallows, quantity of their gam
bling implements being thrown into the
ditch and buried with them. The lynch
ets then took an old scow, and, putting
ION Il ~
who were not directly connected with the
murder, pushed it out into the MISSISSIPPI
pi, without oar or pole of any kind, and
set them adrift: The remaining gamblers
left the town in great haste, glad to es-
cape with their lives, and for many long
year thereafter Vicksburg was noted as
high-grade, moral town.

A Burglar Captured.

Special to the Gazette.
TAHLKQUAH, 1. T., May. 5.-Last night
at Fort Gibson colored man was badly
shot with double-barrel shotgun while
attempting to burglarize Mr.. Nashe's
store. He had raised one of the back
windows and was prowling around
in the store with the window still open
when gentleman passed and noticing
the window was up thought all was not
right. He proceeded to Mr.. Nashe's
residence and informed him of the condi-
ton of mis- window, when they got guns
and went to see what was the matter. APP
preaching the window they saw the
burglar looking around through the
goods picking out what he wanted. Mr..
Nashe placed himself at the front door
and Thornton at the back door and then
notified the burglar to get out. The bur
glar grabbed box of tobacco and bolt
of cloth and started for the window, and
as he was letting himself down Tom
Thornton let him have load of buck
shot which rendered him helpless, and
they took him in. His name is Sheppard,
and he claims,to be from Neosho, Mo.
